W Hotels announces a first address in Portugal

The hotel W Algarve, developed in partnership with Nozul Algarve S.A., will open its doors in 2018. The property will offer 134 rooms and suites, working spaces, a swimming pool, a spa, and also a fitness room. It will join the W Espace collection, a portfolio of W Hotels addresses located especially in shoreline destinations and mountain regions. The hotel's clients may also easily enjoy Atlantic Ocean waves, thanks to three beaches available to them.

Today the European continent has eight W Hotels, all of which are located in major destinations on the continent: Amsterdam, Barcelona, Istanbul, London, Milan, Paris, Saint Petersburg, and Verbier, in Switzerland. Other openings for the new addition to the portfolio of Marriott International are already slated in Madrid (June 2019), Belgrade (September 2019) and Edinburgh (June 2021). As of January 1, 2016, the new conglomerate of Marriott International and Starwood Hotels & Resorts is now the first hotel operator worldwide, with 5,640 hotels totaling 1,108,852 rooms worldwide, according to data published by Hospitality-On.
